READ

The coach's read

SHELL AIgrounded in the numbers above

KEY 01

On 3rd and short, load the box and stop the run first. UConn converts on the ground 65% of the time in those situations, so every short-yardage call should be treated as a run until the ball says otherwise. Do not let them pick up easy yards between the tackles and move the chains.

KEY 02

In the red zone, tighten run fits and stay gap-sound. They run the ball 56.1% of the time inside the 20, which is their highest run rate in any charted situation. Red zone stops start with everyone knowing their gap assignment before the snap and not chasing action away from it.

KEY 03

Their overall offensive efficiency is modest. A PPA of 0.35 per play is above average but not elite, and a 13.5% explosive rate means limit the big play and let them grind. At 66.8 plays per game they are not a tempo team, so there is no excuse for blown assignments due to rushed communication. Make them earn every yard in chunks and trust the math to work in our favor over four quarters.

Bottom lineUConn is a balanced, methodical offense that leans run in scoring situations and on 3rd and short. Defend the run first in critical downs, keep the lid on explosive plays, and their modest efficiency numbers will not be enough to move the ball consistently.
